Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat away to has done more than damage their league momentum — it has sparked a social media storm.
And at the centre of it? A former Red who didn’t hold back.
Late Collapse Deepens Concerns
The night started badly when gave Wolves the lead.
Liverpool responded through , who calmly slotted home to level the score.
But just when it looked like the champions would escape with a point, disaster struck deep into stoppage time. A long-range effort from took a cruel deflection and found the net in the 94th minute.
Another late goal conceded. Another painful defeat.
Even more worrying? Liverpool have now suffered five stoppage-time losses in the league this season — a record no club wants.
Form That Raises Eyebrows 👀
The numbers make uncomfortable reading.
Across their last 24 league matches, Slot’s side have managed just nine wins — a 37.5% win rate. For a club with Liverpool’s stature and spending power, that’s simply not good enough.
Despite dominating possession against Wolves, the Reds lacked urgency. There was no consistent high press. No suffocating intensity. It all felt… flat.
And fans noticed.
Sounds Off
Former Liverpool winger Pennant took to social media with a blunt assessment of the manager’s approach.
He questioned why Liverpool failed to press aggressively, suggesting the team looked overly cautious — as if they were facing title rivals rather than a struggling Wolves side.
In his view, the tactical identity that once defined Liverpool has faded. The high energy. The fearless pressing. The front-foot dominance.
“This is not Liverpool,” was the tone of his frustration.
And thousands agreed.
Rio Ngumoha vs Debate Heats Up 🔥
Pennant didn’t stop at tactics.
He also called for teenage winger to start ahead of Gakpo.
The 17-year-old has repeatedly injected life off the bench — driving at defenders, attacking the byline, and bringing unpredictability. In contrast, critics argue Gakpo’s play has become too easy to read.
Slot’s continued faith in the Dutch forward is raising eyebrows. Fans are beginning to wonder: is loyalty outweighing form?
With transfer rumours swirling and questions about how Liverpool replaced ’s impact, the left-wing position is fast becoming a hot topic.
Pressure Mounts Ahead of FA Cup Clash
Liverpool now prepare to host Wolves again at Anfield in the FA Cup. It’s the perfect opportunity for redemption.
But if the performance mirrors Tuesday night’s lethargy, scrutiny around Slot will intensify.
For a club chasing a top-five finish and Champions League qualification, the margin for error is shrinking.
The real question now is this:
Are these just growing pains under a new manager — or early warning signs of something deeper?
Friday night could provide the answer. 🔴⚽
